Marine Sgt. Maj. Jeffery Cullen passed the non-commissioned officer sword to Sgt. Maj. Bradley Baiotto during a relief and appointment ceremony Wednesday in the VMM-365 hangar, according to base reports. Cullen, who assumed command of VMM-365 in 2011, retired from the Corps during the same ceremony.

Baiotto previously served aboard Camp Lejeune with Combat Logistics Battalion 8, where he was the battalion’s sergeant major during its recent deployment to Afghanistan. Before his tour with CLB-8, he served as a first sergeant with Marine Special Operations Command. This will be Baiotto’s first time serving with the air wing.
